@act-crusader kind of funny for a neutral and given the result but yeah, in general a bit dodgy
-
@victor-meldrew refs are farked. Their. Incompetence matched only by the Aussies.
Its like watching the EPL top four play the Scottish top four.

TMO: “unfortunately” it’s hit a red hand
It’s that’s sort of biased officiating that needs to be stamped out.
I just want to declare that this WAS A JOKE

This is far too easy. Crusaders all class.
Still 50 minutes left. Anything could happen. I’m not getting too carried away
Big task for the Reds to come back and win, but still lots of work to be done for us to secure a bonus point - that's still far from guaranteed.
Reds won't be wasting time kicking for penalties - nor kicking us much ball.
Yeah we need a BP or else we are in trouble of falling behind the other NZ sides.
Yeah - looked like Razor had them primed that winning away with a bonus point was a must to make the final.
He may well be right.

@chris-b yeah, wish we’d tightened things up to defend the bonus point last night
Picking up maximum points vs the Reds is handy for your guys.
Reds looked quite a decent team to me tonight. Crusaders were fired up and playing at finals intensity - and, to be fair, they got a few bounces that on another night they mightn't have.
I'll be surprised if the Reds don't knock someone over - and maybe more than one.
Brumbies look decent as well.

Haven't read the thread, but was wondering what others thought about Angus Scott-Young planting his arm in Ethan Blackadder's face in the 74th minute, sending him off for a HIA. It was "play on", but I think I've seen players being sent of for that during the RWC (was it Koroibete v Wales??). Will need to watch the replay, but it looked dodgy.

Well yeah but if they're gonna look at that, they'll probably wanna look at the stiff-arm from Havili Talitui that hit even harder and finished him off as he bounced off Scott-Young. Blackadder pinball looks like it hurts.

That young LH prop is a unit. It’s nice to see some very promising props coming thru, there has been a lot of mediocrity in recent times in NZ props.

Crusaders look to be the complete S15 (10) team out there. Excellent at everything and some outstanding individuals.
It’s a good effort given we are missing All Blacks, Moody, S. Barrett, Goodhue, Bridge and Cameron
😀
Oh no you didn't!
